This curry udon is a great dish to make when you want something rich, filling, and deeply flavorful in a hurry. Instant Japanese curry cubes give the soup broth a massive dose of savory, aromatic complexity while pork belly and dried udon noodles add richness and body. Since those curry cubes are available in a variety of heat levels, you can customize your batch to your preferred heat level for a bowl of soup that's sure to satisfy to the very last spoonful.
